HUNTERS SAFARIS

South Africa

2009

This company is owned and operated by Professional Hunter and Outfitter Deon Cilliers. Deon utilizes a number of excellent private concessions throughout South Africa to offer his clients the best possible trophy quality for the many species available. The hunting concessions cover the entire range of habitats from open grasslands where species such as Black Wildebeest, Blesbuck and Springbuck abound, to the rugged thorn bushveld where Greater Kudu, Gemsbuck, Eland and Waterbuck are found in excellent numbers. The semi tropical areas of Zululand are home to the beautiful Nyala and Cape Bushbuck as well as the diminutive Red Duiker. His concessions in the Cape and Eastern Cape provinces offer such rare trophies as Bontebuck, Vaal Rheebuck and both Black and White Springbuck.

As with most hunting in South Africa, some traveling will be required to allow you to hunt a good selection of animals from the different areas. Any safari that necessitates an area change will be arranged to include a non-hunting travel day or days. This arrangement insures that you do not pay for any hunting days while traveling from one area to another. In order to maximize your hunting time and to minimize travel you will be required to specify your major trophies so that the safari can be arranged accordingly. During my many safaris with Deon I have been able to hunt on all of his concessions, and I have been very impressed with the numbers of quality trophy animals we encountered each day. Each year my clients take many exceptional trophies with Deon, and all of the animals I have taken with him score very high in the record books.  

Accommodations vary from one concession to the next, and range from luxury guest lodges and cottages, to traditional rondavels. All are fully equipped with hot and cold running water, and bath and shower facilities. All meals and drinks are included.

Whenever possible, Deon conducts his safaris in the traditional walk and stalk fashion to allow the client the best possible safari experience. As the terrain varies greatly, clients who enjoy this type of hunting should try to be in good condition, and be prepared to walk several miles each day to give themselves the best opportunity at good trophies.
